I’m sure you’ll agree that choosing the perfect furnishings for your home can be an exciting process, but it can also feel like a full-time job. And if you procrastinate for too long on which fabric or wall covering to choose, the whole look you were initially going for can start to seem, well, just not quite right.

And then there’s that magical moment when you find an item you just have to have. That enchanting piece of lighting, furniture, wallpaper, or what have you, that you know will make the room sing, pull the scheme together and add that all important ‘character’ that everyone talks so fondly about. It’s magical moments like those that make scrutinizing those tester pots to an inch of their wall life, scattering your room with small fabrics swatches and measuring everything 20 times, and once again for good measure, all worthwhile.

And when the room is finished, you can sit back, relax and admire your handy work.

Here’s a few magical pieces that have caught my eye and are on promotion at ACHICA this weekend. They might just turn your head and make you zoom in for a closer look too…

I love the hand-embroidered appeal of Jan Constantine’s range of cushions and throws, which add a fun and fabulous edge to any scheme. Black, white, purple and red mix well to create a bold statement.

Leitmotiv’s simple and stylish Orbit Table comes in an attractive on-trend orange and wood finish. Team it with a table lamp and use it to brighten up an empty corner, or perch it next to your sofa to ensure tea and biccies are within easy reach during a full episode of Downton Abbey.

I'm loving this Bottle Glass Bundle Lamp from Leitmotiv, which features seven bottles that suspend from the ceiling and hold LED lights in the bottle tops. Makes you wonder what happens to the recycling when it leaves the house every week...

Diamantini & Domeniconi give classic style clocks a modern update. The company has a fun range of designs in punchy shades of purple, pink, orange, yellow and more to brighten up even the darkest day. This fun Chalet Clock has been given a zingy yellow finish and it's way ahead of its time in the style stakes...
